Peaceful riding and frustrating driving

Now cycling
has become not just a way to go work, but also a way to download my energy,
doing exercise in open air and having time just for myself.
Everyone
should do it, at least just to stay alone with yourself. And leave you own mind
much more light after.
This
morning I got on my bike at 6.30am, nobody on the street, no cars or van passed
me. All the
street and silence for me.

Hello
everyone! Today (Sunday) after cycling to and back from work (yep, I also
worked on Sunday), I went for a relaxed cycle in Blackrock with a friend.

| Blackrock Castle |
Actually, I
discovered with her a nice road to get there, flat and all surrounded of trees.
No cars,
just the singing of the small bird.
Once we got to the castle and parked the bikes, we discovered there was a meditation class, inside the castle! We were willing to try, but we preferred to walk for a while. But, we will try another Sunday for sure.

We walked
for a while, enjoying the sea smell coming for the river (we are both Italians
coming from beautiful place on the sea such as Sicily and Sardinia and we
really missed that smell). We decided
to go back home.
I cycled all day. Did I feel tired? Absolutely not!

Today as always, I went the same way I go to work from city centre to Mahon. With the
late shift at 11am, I always meet traffic on the road. I can say
that today I got very stressed two times:

I was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I was correctly on the very left of the road. Once the green came, I started to pedal and a very smart person in the car cut my way turning on the left. I got very angry in that moment, screaming nice Italian worlds to that person.
-Second
time:
On my way back at 8pm, after a big hill (I was inside the cycle path) I was going straight and another very smart person cut my way turning suddenly left. Again nice Italians worlds for him.

I think
those people (I asked myself if it was the same person as the color and the model
of the car was the same) should receive fines! Because I could hurt myself
while they were turning on the left.
I could
have fallen down on the road while they were safe and very smart inside their cars!
Editor's Footnote:
Both drivers and cyclists share the road, we all need to know the do's and don'ts, check out this link: www.rulesoftheroad.ie
